Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 338

Ms. Su said goodbye and stood up to leave. The old shopkeeper got up and walked to the stairs on the second floor.

Mrs. Su turned around, smiled and nodded at the old shopkeeper, then turned around and left. Coincidentally, the warm winter sun shone in from the nearby window and shone on Su's cheeks, giving her a special kind of beauty.

The old shopkeeper watched Su's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, and then went back to look at the drawing of the hairpin.

In the Qin family, Qin Yaozu and Xiao Chenyu were sitting opposite each other in Qin Yaozu's study.

Qin Yaozu and Xiao Chenyu were not familiar with each other, and they didn't have much to talk about. Xiao Chenyu bluntly stated the purpose of coming here.

"We were a little worried, so we came to the door without authorization. I hope it's no wonder!" Xiao Chenyu stood up and cupped his hands. Qin Yaozu quickly stood up and made a pressing gesture to signal Xiao Chenyu not to be polite.

There was faint noise outside, but Xiao Chenyu didn't ask, but Qin Yaozu felt embarrassed.

"Well, to be honest with my brother-in-law, our family does have some... slightly rough times."

Qin Yaozu was impeached, and now Xianfu is at home. He still has to wait when he will go back.

Even Qin Yaozu's father-in-law had a hard time. He could only guarantee his official position and not go home to wait.

"To be honest with my uncle, I also offended Du Ziren, the son of the Du family, in the academy, and my life was not easy." Xiao Chenyu exposed his shortcomings to relieve Qin Yaozu's embarrassment: "It's hard to explain in words, and it's hard to tell Qin Xiang, let her Worrying about it won’t help.”

Sure enough, Qin Yaozu's face improved slightly, and he became worried about Xiao Chenyu again: "You were also ostracized by the Du family? What about now?"

In fact, regardless of the grievances of the previous generation, for Qin Yaozu, Xiao Chenyu can be a help rather than an opponent.

Only after entering officialdom did I understand the importance of relationships.

If someone goes behind your back and says ten good words, it may not necessarily be beneficial; but once someone says one bad word at a critical moment, it may be a disaster.

Xiao Chenyu smiled, spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's not because I went to the Nine Prince's Mansion for a banquet that day. After I came back, everything seemed to go smoothly."

After Xiao Chenyu finished speaking, he was in a daze for a moment.

"It went well, isn't it?" Qin Yaozu saw that Xiao Chenyu seemed to have something in his words, so he took the initiative to ask.

"It's not bad, it's just that I feel strange. It's not just because I went to the Nine Princes' Mansion for a banquet, but there seems to be a pair of invisible hands stirring behind my back. But when I turned around, I didn't feel anything. "

Qin Yaozu was a little surprised: "You mean, someone is attacking you? Do you know who is probably malicious to you?"

Xiao Chenyu sighed: "I had a hard time before because I offended Du Ziren unintentionally. Come to think of it, the man behind the scenes today is also closely related to him."

After all, he was immersed in studying all day long, and he was a person with a smile on his face. How had he ever offended anyone? How could anyone come to target him every day with nothing to do?
Only that Du Ziren, Xiao Chenyu did not give him a good face, and could not give him a good face, but he just ignored his invitation, which also offended the young master. As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. He looks gentle and ambitious. People who are evil are actually small-minded and have a vindictive nature.

Mrs. Liu came in and met Xiao Chenyu. She expressed her gratitude to Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang for their concern. She also said that there was nothing serious at home. It was just that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were going back to Dancheng for the New Year. The family was very busy and she forgot to send a letter to Qin Xiang. It's a waste of worry.

After hearing this, Xiao Chenyu repeatedly said that it was fine.

After sitting for a while, he left Qin's house. He did see someone packing boxes and cages in the courtyard. He asked Qin Yaozu who sent him out: "It's almost the New Year, why do you have to go back?"

He didn't say how Dancheng treated the people in the fourth room, Qin Yaozu should also know.

"I'm here," Qin Yaozu said at the beginning, then paused for a moment. The two of them walked towards the gate without stopping. Qin Yaozu organized his words and said: "I can't tell what will happen at the moment, so I thought of letting my mother and sister take my two The children will go back to Dancheng for the New Year. If things go well next year, they will come back. If things go wrong, Dancheng will still have to keep them for a while. "

As long as it is not a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, people far away in Dancheng will not be implicated. This is the result of Qin Yaozu and the Liu family's discussion.

Mrs. Qin Si was naturally unwilling to leave, but she couldn't bear her son's cry and begging. But for the sake of her son and daughter, even though she knew that it would be difficult for her to go back, she still agreed to take her daughter and grandson back to Dancheng.

After returning home, he told Qin Xiang what had happened, and Qin Xiang sighed: "To others, the fourth wife is not a good woman, and to the common children, she is not a good aunt, but to her own children, she is not a good aunt." , definitely a good mother.”

However, this matter was revealed with a sigh. Instead, Qin Yaozu's family allowed the mother and child to leave. This shows that the matter is not as simple as they said.

Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu discussed it, and both secretly increased their vigilance. They also told Uncle Qi that the security at home should be strengthened and they would not go out unless there was nothing normal.

The New Year went by in trepidation, but it went extremely smoothly. It was so safe that both Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu were a little confused and in disbelief.

But we did have a peaceful New Year.

The gift she gave to the Ninth Prince's Mansion was neither light nor heavy, but the gift in return was a bit excessive. Qin Xiang collected the things without saying much.

Xiao Chenyu discussed with Qin Xiang that he would give the exam a try this year. He actually wanted to give it a try last year, but later his husband discussed with him that it would be better to study for one more year to be on the safe side.

Regarding Xiao Chenyu's affairs, Qin Xiang never interfered much, let alone made random ideas, she just cooperated and supported.

After the New Year, I started to get busy again.

Lu Jiu sent a letter, saying that cotton would be planted on a large scale this year. The Lu family and the Qin family joined forces to purchase more wasteland, and Qin Xiang would be in charge of selling it in the capital.

So, Qin Xiang was busy looking at the new shop, and she quickly bought it. The two-story building led one into the backyard. The yard was very large, and there was a small cellar.

The backyard was demolished and a new building was built, forming a brand new two-story zigzag building with a yard in the middle, people living on the second floor, and storage of goods and kitchen on the first floor.

After the first lunar month, the day comes when the willows sprout and the spring breeze blows.

Su was in good spirits today. She got up early in the morning and packed up before going out.

Su Shi was always dissatisfied with the jade she was looking for at the Xu Family Gold Shop. After a long delay, at the end of the first year, she finally found a piece of jade with almost the same color. Su Shi couldn't bother bothering the shopkeeper and the guys at the Xu Family Gold Shop anymore, so she said it would be enough. Just use this.

It was quick to settle on the stone and carve the hairpin, but it was not until mid-February that Su was notified to pick it up.

When she was going out, she heard that Qin Xiang had already gone out. Mrs. Su sighed and said that her daughter was working hard but she couldn't help her, and she felt very guilty.

Luju and Cuizhu hurriedly comforted her, and the three of them soon started talking and laughing.

The carriage passed a corner, and a tall carriage came from the opposite direction. The other party was very fast and rushed over.

The Xiao family's carriage driver stopped immediately, but the opponent was too fast to avoid.

The horses were staggered, but the carriages bumped into each other.

Su Shi was almost knocked down, but fortunately the two maids around her hugged her tightly, and the three of them helped each other stabilize themselves.

The accompanying guards hurriedly stepped forward to check on Su and the others. They were relieved when they saw that their faces were just a little pale and they were frightened.
